Based on estimates by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the government can collect P3 billion from La Suerte’s Astro and Memphis brands alone, which were introduced in the market in 1999.

In a public hearing presided by BIR Commissioner Guillermo Parayno and Finance Undersecretary Grace Pulido Tan, 11 of the 30 cigarette brands surveyed by the BIR were found to have higher retail prices than originally declared with the bureau. The survey was conducted in March in compliance with a directive from the BIR chief and Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho.
